If you read anything that I wrote, you would see that Joe Jackson and Buck Weaver were not cheaters (particularly Jackson, who did everything that he could to report the fix to the team owner, and tried to give the unsolicited $5,000 that he received to them.)
On the other hand, Ty Cobb and Tris Speaker
WERE both documented cheaters whom were involved in fixed games that same season, yet they were both inducted in the Hall-of-Fame.
